Law enforcement arrested pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist and far-right influencer Jake Lang in St. Paul for destroying a sculpture on the front steps of the Capitol on Thursday.
Lang posted a video to social media of him kicking the newly-installed sculpture that reads “prosecute ICE.”
A state trooper arrested Lang a short time later near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and University Avenue. He was booked at the Ramsey County Jail for suspicion of criminal damage to property.
In a post to X, Lang claims he is being charged with a felony.
The sculpture had been put up earlier the same day by a group of veterans who were protesting ICE’s ongoing presence in Minnesota.
